I'm finally finished. I'm headed to NM tomorrow to defend my final project on Monday. This is a huge accomplishment, as I almost gave up a couple of times. Perserverance paid off and I'll be a "Master" soon!
....now maybe a PhD?....
I'm excited to see what is in store for my future! |

Gold Hoop
One day she will be brave enough
To venture away from stereotypical gold hoops.
From parroting her mean friend’s laughter, sitting on the stoop
For hours, trying to look half-fine, half-tough,
Sucking on a sour apple Blow Pop
Listening to the boom box’s latest hip hop. One day
She will look at her rough, scarred face
In the compact mirror without Mac eyeliner and stop
Hating those young, haunted eyes.
I hope a slant of gold light will hit her cheek,
Just right, and it will come as a surprise
To her how fine she really is. Fabulous. Sleek.
Soulful, of her own juju and mystique.
A rose fury. Black lightning when she hits the street.

How do you get over someone that you have shared your life with for over 5 years? How do you make that hurt of suddenly being alone go away?
I feel like poo. :( |

Hey,

I know I am the biggest slacker of all time. I can't seem to find the time to write down stuff in the journal though. I hardly have time to sleep. :)
So, life is pretty much the same. Classes are the same thing, kind of boring, occasionally exciting, but usually dull. I guess that is pretty much across the board with most people's classes though.
I sent out my applications for the summer camps. I applied to Girl Scouts of AZ, Douglas Ranch Camps in CA, and Brush Ranch Camp in NM. Hopefully, I will be offered a job at one of the last two, because I really would rather leave the state for the summer than stay here. Girl Scouts called me today though, and want an interview. I am worried that I will have to accept a job that I don't really want. I guess anything is worth getting out of the house.
My godmother Barbara is coming out with her boyfriend of the moment this weekend. She lives in Santa Fe, and I haven't seen her in awhile, so it will be nice to see her. She's in her 50's, and had a mid-life crisis after her divorce, which always makes for interesting visits. She's a great person.
Otherwise, nothing else much is going on. Matt and I have to wait until next weekend to celebrate Valentine's day, because he's going home this weekend, and so am I. Thursday night he has to work and I have to study for an evil test. I don't understand people. Why do we even have tests? ugh. :P
Well, work is almost over and I have to go figure out this stupid thing on my computer for CIS. Blah.
I hope everyone is doing well. I know I am, even though I am busy.
Ciao :) |

Question:
If it was 1am, and your girlfriend was riding her bike home across a campus where 4 rapes had occurred in the past 6 months, wouldn't you call to see if she was ok?
*looks at the phone*
Yeah.....I thought so.... |

Hello Everyone...I know it's been AGES since I wrote, but SO much has been going on. Now I am sitting here at work putting off homework and being hungry. Damn, that was really bad english. :P
So, all the news:
I officially quit AOII. I decided that with everything going on and how I was feeling and everything that it might be too much for me right now. I send the president an email, but clearly they didn't tell anyone, because people keep asking me if I am going to show up for stuff. I dunno. I feel good about it, but at the same time I am disappointed that it didn't work out as planned. Hopefully they won't be mean to me because I quit, which I don't think they will. Gamma Phi is the only one that really does that.
Trying to find a summer job. I am looking at being a counselor at different summer camps around. I LOVE being a counselor and going to camps and singing dumb songs and acting like a dork. It is what I am meant to do. :P It's better than working at Tommy Hilfiger in the heat all summer. After going to Korea last summer, I am spoiled, but I am going to try to make this summer just as fun. I am looking at camps in CA, AZ, and NM. I'm excited!!
The dilemma about the car situation goes on. My parents found out that it is going to cost a buttload to get the Range Rover fixed, so they are thinking that maybe they should just take it to Phoenix (it's still running) and trade it in on some little sedan. I dunno. They don't really want to get a new car, but they kinda have to because this one kind of isn't working. :P We shall see.
Classes are going well. I am taking such easy classes compared to the evil math and science last semester. I am really beginning to enjoy all the different views of communication and all that. It is fun discussing things in class rather than listening to some burned out prof sit there and ramble about Newton's theories and all that. So, I am enjoying it. I am beginning to look toward Immigration Law as well as doing something with children or adoption. Who knows, maybe I could just integrate it all.
I joined the communities of vegerecipes and woks_of_Asia which are two really great communities that have recipies. (duh) It makes me wish I had a kitchen and more people to cook for so I could try them out!! I am tired of the college staple foods of rice a roni, mac and cheese, and ramen. ick.
Matt has gotten very mature on me all of a sudden. We have been having talks a lot about our future and even possible wedding plans. (Don't get too excited, it's not going to be for awhile!!) Last night we talked about fun stuff like our past at VVS and what we really wanted to do with our lives. It was awesome. Nothing like being all snuggled up in bed with someone you love chatting quietly about fun stuff. :) He's one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
It is cold and windy today. They said it was going to snow, and it did, about a millimeter. It was the nasty cold snow too that isn't really snow, more little balls. So now it is just cold and really windy outside.
I had more to say, but hunger is taking over. I am going to expire soon, so I will write again when I have the energy.

it's late. I'm tired, but I can't sleep. I hope this isn't a new trend of insomnia or something. That would suck.
Today was uneventful. I went to Safeway and spent $92 on food. Insane. I guess stuff adds up, or so I keep telling myself. Hehe. Part of it is because Matt eats most of my food so I have to buy a lot to keep him satisfied.
I also went up to the wing tonight. Everyone is back and being nice for the time being. There is all this weird pressure to move into the wing, even though I don't really want to, I don't really know how to tell them that I don't want to be an in-house member. I dunno. I don't think my heart's really in AOII right now. I guess I will see what this semester brings and make my decision.
I don't know why I am feeling so blah. Everyone seemed so up tonight, but it seemed to put me in a down mood. I dunno...maybe I'm having post pms or something. Can't seem to get my thoughts straight.
Mom called to say that the Range Rover broke down, so I have to drive to Sedona tomorrow with the truck so they will be able to have a vehicle. I guess they are just going to fix it and then trade it in on a new family car or something that is more reliable. It's kinda crazy.....who would have thought that we would be getting a new car?
I miss my friends. It sucks when people that you care about the most live in crazy random places like OR, CO, FL, NY, Mass... even across the ocean. I always think about all my old friends and how they are doing and what happened to them. It's so hard to try to keep in touch with them, because I feel like I am the one doing all the trying and they don't seem to care. Mostly, it's the old childhood friends that I lost track of. *sigh*
I really don't know what to do about AOII. I don't feel like I really fit in at all. I backed out of living in Mt. View (the greek residence hall) because I just didn't feel like it was right to move up there. Because of that, I think that a lot of the girls feel badly towards me because they don't think that I am into it or whatever. Which, I don't really know if I am or not. The Greek system here at NAU really is poor. I wish that it wasn't so. I just feel like the girls don't really try to include me in their lives as much as they could because I don't live in house. I dunno....it's just been really hard for me to get into AOII....I don't really even know if it's the girls or me... probably a little of both. I guess I will see what happens with it. I go back and forth, but it's really just how I am as a person.
All in all, things are going well. I didn't make any definate resolutions because I tend to always forget them or not follow through.... so I have decided to just take life as it comes and try to make the most out of things and be happy.
super duper fun stuff. I wish that I could sleep alone tonight.... I just want to strech out and relax. Alas, there is a boy in my bed fast asleep. If he wasn't so damn cute, I would kick him out. *wink*
*sigh* I think I am going to try sleep again. If it doesn't work, then I will be back to write down some more thoughts.
Angels on your Shoulders :) |
